Robots can't replace human caregivers but can support them. EDAN, a wheelchair with a robotic arm from the German Aerospace Center, joins CYBATHLON 2024! We eagerly look forward to their participation: cybathlon.ethz.ch/en/search/de...
The mobile robot EDAN (EMG-controlled daily assistant) is an assistive robotics system for people with severe motor impairments. The robot is controlled using muscle signals. Its integrated shared-autonomy capabilities facilitate everyday tasks such as drinking from a glass.

At @ethzurich.bsky.social's Robotic Systems Lab, Scheidemann et al present a mouth joystick and voice command interface for a quadrupedal assistance robot with an arm, showcased at CYBATHLON competition 2024. Pilot Samuel Kunz operates the robot in a mailbox-opening task. arxiv.org/html/2405.07...
Assistance robots are the future for people who need daily care due to limited mobility or being wheelchair-bound. Current solutions of attaching robotic arms to motorized wheelchairs only provide limited additional mobility at the cost of increased size. We present a mouth joystick control interface, augmented with voice commands, for an independent quadrupedal assistance robot with an arm. We validate and showcase our system in the Cybathlon [1] Challenges February 2024 Assistance Robot Race, where we solve four everyday tasks in record time, winning first place.
